Local privilege escalation
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated Jan 2, 2025
Elevation of privilege in Microsoft ATA Port Driver on affected Windows releases allows local users to obtain elevated privileges. Microsoft has not published the flawed function, request, or memory operation within Ataport.sys, so the code-level mechanism is undisclosed. Exploitation requires local access and action by another user, but Microsoft does not identify the resulting privilege level.
